Off The Chart: 3 June 1982

We’re going back 35 years to examine the UK Singles Chart of 3 June 1982 in excruciating detail! Steve and Julian unearth some forgotten hits, play three tracks from one of the week’s hottest albums, and go through perhaps the best ever top 5 in full. There’s also a track from this week’s German singles chart, a look back at the day’s news, sport and TV programmes, and a rundown of some of the gigs you might have attended this week. Grab your passport, call the fire brigade and press PLAY to join in the fun (but don’t forget to pack something for the weekend!)

If you enjoy Off The Chart and you’d like access to specially recorded bonus items, fascinating behind-the-scenes secrets, our exclusive Further Off The Chart shows (there’s a new one of those coming next week!) or even to be part of Off The Chart and get to choose some of the music, head over to our Patreon page and subscribe to us for a teeny amount of cash every month. We really appreciate it and it all goes towards the running of the site. And even if you don’t give us any money (yet) you can still listen to the outtakes…

As part of my Msc in Social Research I am researching the impact of Covid-19 on the performing arts industries.
